THE WHIPPING POST.
How Thieves and Other Law-Breaker,
are Punished In Little Delaware.

How Thieves and Other Law Breakers
are Punished In Little Delaware.
Had stranger, macquainted with
Delaware's mode of Furnishing thieves,
visited the county Jail yard at New
Castle on recent morning he at first
would probably have imagined that
several prize-fghts were to occur soon,
writes Wilmington correspondents
About the middle OF the forenoon the
jail-yard was thronged by n motley
crowd, hooting and jeering at ten men
who stood shivering in front of pill
lory and whipping-post. These men
resembled pugilsts in that they were
stripped above the waist. In them the
! braggadocio and mein so common
among pugilsts We're lacking. Al
though hardened in crime the raw air
and the taunts of the crowd affected
them unpleasantly, and they said not a
word to those jeering them. They
We're convicts, and during the week
had been found guilty of larceny or
burglary. Two of them were white
and all were young.
Promptly at ten O'clock Sheriff Lamb
son entered the yard. and VIM. H.
Baker (white), convicted of stealing
IA horse and wagon, was dashed to the
post, and to his back the sheriff APP
piled n cato ninc-tails twenty times
| When Baker was taken back to his cell
Charles Mathews (white), convicted of
larceny of clothing, was fastened to
the post and given ten hshes. Next
came six colored men w eldon Collins,
VIM. Parsons, Robert Sewcll, George
Anderson, Joseph Griffin and John
Walter, who each received ten lashcs
except the last three, who each were
given five. Collins was convi ted of
ealing $3l from an Italian; Parsons
stole some fence rails; Walter robbed a
companion of $50; Sewell stole some
| flowers from q nursery; Anderson 5
crime was the theft Of an ovcrcoat, and
Griffin was stealing chickens.
In addition to receiving twenty lashes
Baker had to stand in the pillory for
an hour Terry Cooper and Francis
Bayard, both colored, convicted of
stealing $l4 from farmer, also stood
an hour in the pillory The admins
tering of the punishment was not fin
ished until the middle OF the afternoon,
and when the last convict had returned
to his cell the throng of spectators
rushed through the iail-yard ga es and
hurried oil in search of their dinners

Experiments looking 20 the adop-
ton Of electric headlights for locomo-
tiyes have already been he cause OF
one smash-up; the presence of the dyna-
mo machine on the engine having had
the effect of demoraiizing the timepieces
of both engineer and engine. Another
thing against the adoption of the cleo
trio light on trains is that it will make
engineers nervous. No amount OF
argument could convince an engineer
that an electric light in front of his
engine would prove any thing but a
menace to his train in thunderstorm.

LONDON VEGETARIAMS.
Remarks Made by Prominent EuglishmeI
For and Against Veeetarkinisrn.

Remarks Made by Prominent Euglishmen
For and against NegetarEinism.
Negetarianism is now making con
siderable progress in London. For
long time it was confined to a few in
dividuals, who were regarded by the
great majority of people IA fanatics or
enthusiasts, whereas at the present
time no fewer than twenty restaurants
exclusively devoted to the sale OF vege-
tartan food, are tiourishing in the me-
tropolis. Some Of these provide rs
many as thousand or twelve hundred
dinners every day. No doubt many of
the customers are influenced by the
conviction that flesh-eating is a viola
ton OF the laws of nature, and fertile
source of disease, but the majority, i sus
pect, resort to yeGctarianSl rs q meas
ure CT economy. / was present one night
at dinner given by the Vegetarian
Society to & large number Of guests
many of whom have not abandoned
the feshpots of Egypt; and certainly
the dinner reflected not little credit
upon the vegetarian cuisine. The
fayorite dish was delicious compound
called London pie" ''Haricots and
horseradish sauce suited ether pal
ates, and certain radicals present made
an appet:zing meal Of 'lnas!lcd and
home rale potatoes. y Prof Mayor, OF
the University Of Cambridge, presided;
and speeches were made with view to
show that vegctarianism coaducel to
both the moral and the temporal we'll
being Of man. Mr.. Kegm Paul, the
wcll-known publisher, ayoved his be-
lief in the vegetarian theory, bat adj
mitted that under tie conditions of
London society, although the
spirit was wiling, the flesh
was sometimes weak. Rev. Brooke
Lambert, the eminent Broad Church
vicar, was sccptical as 70 the supc-
riority of vegetarian over meat
diet; but brother clergyman from
Stafford triumPhantly declsred that he
not only lived on farinaceous Sod HIM
self, but had brough up three healthy
sons and daughters without ever once
yielding to the temptation of giving
them meat. Every one was in favor
of penny vegetarian dinners, for dur
ing the winter they have saved thou
sands Of poor people from starvation.
Children have been provided with
good, nutritious repast5 for hall
penny each, and one IF tie spectators
believed that they would yet be able to
do it for the smallest coin CT the realm,
viz, one farthing.-Loa,dus Cor. N. \.

Burnett County Sentinel 18th inst.
The committee on railroads in the
Assembly has made report in favor
of a constitutional amendment COM
polling all railways in Wisconsin to
give annual passes to the state officers,
members Of the supreme and circuit
courts and legislature. Well of all
the fool bills introduced in the legis-
lature this is the worst, and the com
Mite is as bad as the bill. I he idea
OF compelling a railway to carry the
above named officials freel Why do
they not include in the bill provisions
to compel steamboats, to carry them
free, hotels to dine and lodge them,
merchants to give them goois; in tact
everything free. Why not? There
is rs much sense in one as in the other,
and the legislature would have about
as much right to enact the latter as
the former. We should like 70 en-
quire too, why they have excluded the
other classes of the state, that are Just
rs deserving of receiving a pass as
they are Is this not discrimination
of which so much is said? and would
it not be against the inter State law?
Why not include also town and city
officers, and even 90 further and force
the roads to give passes to lawyers,
printers, merchants farmers, etc, why
make the officials mentioned in the
bill Il privileged class? Do the people
not give them sufficient salary? The
state officers receive from $1,000 to
$1,000, the judges from $500 to S.
900, the Legislators $500 and mile
age of 10 cents per mile going to and
returning from The legislature; in fact
the people give to the latter passes
good for about three trips Can this
privileged class not afford to pay their
fare if it Is demanded Of them? And
are they not better able to pay than
three-tourths Of the people Of the
State? There is one provision Of the
bill that is good one; it must be sub
mitteI to the votes of the people, and
the majority against it will be i'm
mense; but a few outside of the off
cials mentioned will vote for it.

Discussing The Veto.

WASHINGTON, March The fail
ure OF the river and harbor bill is still
a subject of talk among congressman,
many of whom had relied implicitly
upon its being signed by the president
to circulate some of the treasury sur
plus in their districts. Senator Ham
pton, of South Carolina, was out
spoken in his condemnation Of the
Presidents course in withholding his
signature, and said: Congress has
been attacked on all sides for DELAYING
the passage Of this measure, but no
one is to blame except the pre7ideat It
can't be claimed with any foundation
that he did not have time to examine
the bill, for it was placed on his table
Wednesday before adjournment; but
the president seemed to take a pleas
ure in overriding the majority in CON
gress that passed the bill, and kept
the bill iii his library and paid no at
tantion whatever to it" This is a
fair view Of the sentiments of many
other congressman, and especially
from the south and west.

The miners near Tower want to
shoot or hang the Tower constable, a
Mr.. Freeman, and 200 of them visited
the place for that purpose few days
ago, but not finding their man, who
had made good his escape, they re-
tired after passing strong resolutions
against him. One of their number
persisted in the Jail which barnea a
a short time ago, and they imagine
that there was foul play in the case
perpetrated by the constable. Mr..
Freeman is in Duluth and will pro
baby not 60 back to Tower.

Whatever is thought of the river
and harbor bill, the failure of the gen
eral deficiency bill is a serious matter.
Every day it is discovered that some
department is hampered for want of
funds named in the bill. and there is
probably no branch Of the government
service that will not be greatly incon-
venienced because that bill was not
signed. Exchange.
